VanWood: Mini Brewfest

Wrap up your day on the mountain at VanWood Mini Brewfest, a laid-back craft beer tasting at Red Cliffs Lodge from 4:00pm to 8:00pm. Enjoy tunes from our live DJ as you sample craft beer, meet brewers, and soak up the spring mountain vibes. Held alongside the VanWood Festival, this intimate event is open to everyone, whether you are camping or just stopping in for the evening.

With only 10 breweries participating, this is a rare chance to sample great beer without the crowds, meet the brewers, and discover new favorites in a relaxed indoor setting.

Your ticket includes a tasting cup and access to unlimited samples during the event. Whether you are a longtime craft beer fan or just looking for a fun afternoon, VanWood Mini Brewfest offers a social atmosphere and a great way to experience a variety of breweries all in one place.
